Reports from two pro-life groups today prove that abortion clinics are not safe for women.

Saturday, February 7, 2015 an ambulance transported a woman from the Akron Women’s Medical Group abortion facility in Akron, Ohio, to a local hospital according to a report filed by Operation Rescue.

One pro-life activist was on the scene at the time and had the presence of mind to video the incident with his cell phone as the woman was loaded into an ambulance and rushed away from the clinic.

The Akron Women’s Medical Group (AWMG), a member of the National Abortion Federation, is a troubled abortion facility that has a history of health and safety deficiencies, according to documentation received by Operation Rescue. The abortion business leases their building from the notorious late-term abortionist Martin Haskell, who owns the property.

Then, the pro-life group Chiaroscuro Group published three ads they say will expose the need for abortion clinic inspections in the state.

Chiaroscuro Group, tells the public that only 17 of New York’s regulated abortion clinics have been inspected by the Department of Health between 2000 and 2012.

Five of those clinics only received one inspection in 12 years!

According to Life Dynamics, which reported on the story, one of the ads begins, “Don’t go! Trust me.”

Like something out of a back ally avoid at all costs. New York inspects tanning and nail salons but not women’s clinics? Teenagers go there without their parents knowing,” the ad continues.

The group points out that the State of New York inspects just about everything, pizzerias, nail and tanning salons but for more than a dozen years it’s failed to inspect abortion clinics.

In the ads the group reads actual reviews of women who used New York abortion clinics.

What the women said about their experiences is horrific:

Filthy
Disgusting
Dirty
The waiting room is dirty
It spells of dried urine
My worst experience ever
Filthy medical equipment, looks like it’s from the 70’s
A dirty, poorly operated clinic with zero care for the patients
She balanced her tool tray on the garbage can
Like something out of a back alley
Don’t go there
Like it hadn’t been cleaned in days
Avoid at all costs
It will cost you – your health
Poorly operated
One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had

The ads have gotten the attention of the New York Post, which published a story this weekend.

According to the NY Post report a majority of New York abortion clinics have never been inspected:

The Post reported last year that eight of New York’s 25 abortion clinics had not been inspected at all between 2000 and 2012, and five others were inspected only once in a dozen years.

The Health Department released that data — without identifying the names of the clinics — in response to a lawsuit filed by Chiaroscuro.

Following the outcry over the lack of inspections, the Health Department said last year it would re-inspect all 25 diagnostic and treatment facilities.

Chiaroscuro is now battling the Cuomo administration to obtain records on abortion-clinic inspections conducted by the Health Department last year and in 2013.

Chiaroscuro Group is encouraging those outraged by the condition of New York abortion clinics to support a bill introduced in the state by New York Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis

The bill would require regular inspections by the Department Of Health of the abortion clinics over which it has jurisdiction.

A new bill to expand access to abortion in California is being heard by committee in the state legislature today.

The measure, written by state Senator Christine Kehoe of San Diego, would let nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives and physician assistantsperform first-trimester abortions using a suction method.

There are about 24,000 of these providers in California.

Vince Hall, a spokesman for Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest, spoke to KPBS about the bill. He said other states have shown clinicians can safely perform the procedure
REALLY????????????????????????????

Still think abortion is safe ? Don’t let the abortion industry “Take you for a ride”

According to Operation Rescue: This 911 call reveals a botched abortion at Southwestern Women’s Options abortion mill in Albuquerque, New Mexico on February 19, 2011. The call was made in the middle of the night. The condition of the woman is not known. Abortion may be legal but it is far from saf

According to Operation Rescue:This 911 call reveals a botched abortion at Southwestern Women’s Options abortion mill in Albuquerque, New Mexico on May 12, 2011. The woman suffered a life-threatening ruptured uterus during a late term abortion. The condition of the woman is not known. Life-threatening abortion complications happen in ABQ at the shocking rate of ONE every THREE months. Abortion may be legal but it is far from safe!

911 call made from Southwestern Women’s Options, a late-term abortion mill in Albuquerque, NM requesting transport for botched abortion patients. This shows that this abortion clinic presents a danger to the public. A 30-year old woman who suffered “uterine bleeding”, a sign of a possible punctured womb, after a first trimester abortion.

Christine M. Flowers: Not your mother’s back alley ( VERY VERY GOOD !)

I KNEW they’d try to spin this one, given the implications.

We’ve been told for decades that because of Roe v. Wade, abortion can now be safe and legal (at well over a million a year in the U.S., only the naive would call it “rare”). No more dirty coat hangers. Bye-bye, back alleys.

The legalization of abortion was supposed to have protected not only “a woman’s right to choose,” but women’s health in general. Unfortunately, the advocates hadn’t yet heard of Dr. Kermit B. Gosnell and his abortion house of horrors.

In the wake of revelations about the unethical practices, unlicensed practitioners and grisly conditions at the West Philadelphia family planning clinic (are mummified fetuses in jars a form of birth control?), I expected the pro-choice activists to circle the wagons and attack a much greater enemy than the doctor himself: pro-lifers.

They didn’t disappoint me.

Abortion is still legal and widely available in Pennsylvania. Which means legalization hasn’t entirely eliminated the questionable medical practitioners who plied their trade in the dingy pre-Roe alleys. It just moved them into the light of day on Lancaster Avenue.

But the pro-choice crowd simply can’t admit that. They’ll acknowledge that licensing requirements must be made stricter. They’ll applaud the fact that Pennsylvania suspended Gosnell’s license, and that he agreed to a suspension in Delaware. They’ll say that this doctor wasn’t typical of the average abortion provider.

And they’ll do what our sister paper did in its editorial on the topic, conjuring up the images of Barnett Slepian and George Tiller, abortionists killed by radical anti-abortion activists:

“Sadly, threats, protests, and even the murder of doctors who perform abortions have forced many good physicians out of the abortion business, leaving others to fill the void.”
Like I said, I saw it coming.

You can’t risk undermining the whole decades-long charade that legalized abortion is a medical necessity and that only by removing virtually all restrictions on availability can you promote “reproductive health.” The women who died at Gosnell’s clinic might differ, if they still could.

Still, I’m willing to concede that the vast majority of abortion clinics don’t resemble the hellhole on Lancaster Avenue.

I’m also willing to admit that most of the people who perform abortions believe they are providing a necessary service.

But what I refuse to accept is the spin that many pro-choice advocates apply to this and similar issues, trying to make it seem as if they are the only ones who care about women’s health.

Or women’s rights.

March is Women’s History Month. And just as we are duty-bound to remember those in the civil-rights movement who fought for the inherent dignity of black Americans, we are equally obligated to remember women who fought – and still fight – for the inherent dignity of their sisters by opposing abortion.

Feminists for Life, established in 1972, is an organization that’s never been accepted by so-called mainstream women’s-rights groups like NOW and the Feminist Majority because of its belief that abortion harms women way more than it empowers them, tells us that the earliest feminists were anti-abortion, including Susan B. Anthony and New Jersey’s own Alice Paul, who called abortion “the ultimate exploitation of women.”

(And there are a surprising number of contemporary celebrities who are also pro-life, but who mostly fly under the radar because the pop-culture PR machine mostly disdains their point of view. People like Patricia Heaton of “Everybody Loves Raymond.” Or Sports Illustrated cover girl Kathy Ireland. Or soap opera legend Kate Mulgrew. Or model-actress Jennifer O’Neill.)

These are just a few of the women who reject the false mandate that legitimate feminists must support abortion.

Which brings us back to the whole idea that legalized abortion has freed women from their reproductive shackles.

QUITE THE contrary. Easy access to abortion has devalued sex, relieving many women who really do use it as birth control – in New York City, there are 770 abortions for every 1,000 live births – from having to consider the consequences of being sexually intimate.

It has also, in some important ways, devalued life itself, since the fetus has lost any importance other than what the mother is willing to give it.

And now we also know that the fact that it’s legal obviously doesn’t guarantee its safety.

Maybe we haven’t come such a long way, baby.
